Pet care experience
Hi there! My name is Christine. It is great to meet you. As a full-time Berkeley student whose home is quite far away, I have realized how much I miss my dogs and want to share lots of love and care to dogs like yours during my time here at school! I have experience in training puppies, dogsitting for my friends and neighbors, working with abused dogs, and volunteering in canine care at local animal shelters. I live near UC Berkeley campus, but I am able to drive to you at your convenience within a reasonable distance.
Reviews
I have never met anyone who loves dogs as much as Christine. She never fails to point them out on a walk or in the car and cares for every dog she comes across. She is a kind, loving person to both people and animals, and she is definitely responsible and trustworthy in school and the tasks she is given. 10/10 would recommend!
Christine is a kind, responsible, and diligent young lady who exudes sunshine and truly loves dogs! She is always cheerful and makes her surroundings bright with her positive energy. I am confident that she has a great sense of responsibility and attentiveness to details, no matter how small or big they may seem. Christine is very gentle, playful, and understanding of the dogs that she works with, and is talented at observing and interpreting animal behavior. When my dogs are under her care, I have no doubt that they are being loved! Lastly, she is a great communicator who sends lots of pictures to lessen any anxiety that may arise from being apart from your dog. Her past experience with canine care paired with her joyful personality is amazing!
